Beschreibung

Tales of the World’s Hottest Cities explores how people adapt and thrive in some of the planet’s most scorching places. Far from being barren or lifeless, these cities hold vibrant cultures, traditions, and communities shaped by heat, scarcity, and resilience. The book presents real-life stories from cities across the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and the Americas, offering personal glimpses into daily routines, architecture, food, and festivals. Written in a simple, conversational style, each chapter celebrates the uniqueness of desert life while revealing shared strategies of survival. The collection challenges stereotypes about remote or extreme environments, emphasizing the deep connections people form with their climates and each other. It is ideal for readers curious about geography, anthropology, climate adaptation, or global cultures. By humanizing these often-overlooked places, the book invites empathy and admiration, showing that even in blistering conditions, life continues with dignity, creativity, and joy.

    Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be the following: 
    The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
    The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
    Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.

    Modern Man ~ Neanderthal with Manners 
    Poem about the comparison of what it is to be a Modern man today. What it may have been yesterday, and what it 
    was to compare it to our relatively recent ancestors from just a hundred thousand years or so 
    - The Neanderthals. 
    Would they have been as cruel to their fellow beings as possibly we are today. What does it mean to be classified as 
    MODERN ! A modern Human ?

    The history of India is filled with tales of powerful warrior empires that shaped the destiny of the subcontinent. Among them, the Hoysala Empire, the Rashtrakuta Empire, and the Kakatiya Dynasty stood as formidable forces in the Deccan region, each leaving behind a unique legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural patronage.  
    The Rashtrakutas, known for their military might, expanded their rule across vast territories, engaging in wars with the Pratiharas and Palas while fostering art and architecture, as seen in the magnificent Kailasanatha temple at Ellora.  
    The Hoysalas, emerging later, were fierce warriors and master builders, commissioning iconic temples such as those at Belur and Halebidu while defending their kingdom against rival invasions.  
    The Kakatiya Dynasty, renowned for its defensive strategies, constructed impressive fortifications like the Warangal Fort and resisted repeated invasions, including those from the Delhi Sultanate.  
    These warrior empires not only fought to expand and defend their territories but also enriched Indian culture, trade, and architecture, leaving an enduring impact on the history of the Deccan.

    Marianne Bohr and her husband, about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica—the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath—to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe. 
    From a chubby, non-athletic child, Bohr grew into a fit, athletic person with an “I’ll show them” attitude. But hiking The Twenty forces her to transform a lifetime of hard-won achievements into acceptance of her body and its limitations. The difficult journey across a remote island provides the crucible for exploring what it means to be an aging woman in a youth-focused culture, a physically fit person whose limitations are getting the best of her, and the partner of a husband who is growing old with her. More than a hiking tale, The Twenty is a moving story infused with humor about hiking, aging, accepting life’s finite journey, and the intimacy of a long-term marriage—set against the breathtaking beauty of Corsica’s rugged countryside.
